Default 1/8 time good?

I decided to go to the drag for the first time in my 03 z06. Current mods are vararam and drag radials with no tune. My best 2 passes were a 1.71 60ft 7.70@92.04 and a 1.78 60ft 7.90@90 on this run i spun bad in 2nd gear and hit the rev limiter. Are these decent times for a close to stock c5 z06? I think i am launching ok but need to bang the gears a little faster.

Nice times. I have an 01 and before all the mods I hit the high 7.90 with street tires a few time. Was not till I put on drag radials that I was there Consistently. The 02 and newer Zs have a little more in them. Working on the driver mod always helps as well.

I have M/T drag radials. I ran them at 15psi, lauched at 4000 and droped the cluch. The car felt strong out of the hole.
